Biography

Early years

Dekkers was born on 4 September 1969 in Breda, Netherlands. He began learning martial arts at age 12, studying judo for a few months. He then switched to boxing. After half a year Dekkers started practicing Muay Thai under Cor Hemmers. After finishing his baker education Dekkers joined Maeng Ho Breda Gym. During Dekkers early days of training his mother was at the gym every day and eventually she and Hemmers fell in love and got married.

In the beginning of his career Dekkers' manager was Clovis Depretz, the manager of legendary Rob Kaman. This was the reason why Kaman was at ringside during many of Dekkers' matches, including his farewell fight. They often trained together and became good friends. Dekkers and Kaman were dubbed by fight fans in Thailand as "The Double Dutch duo".

What is the price of true happiness? One year ago, Hyls Hiddema (37) from Weidum, The Netherlands, entered the Buddhist Ariya Centre in Thailand after a long spiritual quest. The objective: to live in a permanent state of happiness, or achieving Nirvana. For that he, like the Buddha himself, left his Thai wife Waw and seven-year-old son Aran.
Hyls studies under his enlightened teacher Luang Por Pichai the purest form of Buddhism. And he is convinced that he has found the right teacher in Luang Por Pichai. "Without teacher you are going nowhere. Too difficult and too theoretical. You'll never see your own blind spots." The goal is to achieve Nirvana, the ultimate homecoming, in this life. "If you know all the questions and you can answer them, if you get a clear understanding of how and why, you can become enlightened."
Friend and filmmaker Halbe Piter Claus visited Hyls and received unique access to the Ariya Centre. This movie brings moving pictures of this unknown community to the outside world for the first time in twenty years. What are the benefits and what are the consequences of Hyls' fundamental choice? And where will the little Aran stay when Waw also enters the temple?
